Brian Shapiro LOSES IT Over J6 Debate, Claims Defendants DESERVED IT

What was said

"There is a man who was acquitted. This is early on. He showed video where the police officer waved him into the building and he points and he's like and he walked in. They then criminally charged him and he says, 'This officer invited me into the building.'"

Tim Pool reveals that Matthew Martin was acquitted of January 6 charges after presenting video evidence showing a police officer waving him into the Capitol building. Pool argues this constitutes an 'inside job' by defining it as low-level employees aiding entry, similar to a bank janitor propping open a door for criminals. He also cites surveillance footage showing the QAnon Shaman being escorted by seven or eight police officers who opened doors and walked him into the Senate chambers.
